Home Remedies

Like i said on previously post before, i want to share about my routines skin care, and now all about home remedies. I had wrote about an egg facial mask and homemade lip scrub before. And now i still have some home remedies routines that i used to do weekly.

Tomatoes Mask

This is another great mask for oily skin. Tomatoes act as an astringent and are packed with Vitamin A and K which are beneficial for the skin. Take one slice of tomato and rub it all over your face until evenly coated. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse. Your face should be shine free and glowing:) A tomato is nature's toner.

  As for my sister, who had a dry skin, she more prefer to made a cucumber mask for her face. Cucumber mask definetely not work for me.

Plain Yoghurt Mask

here's the video from youtube :
 

 Believe me or not, but long time ago i did used this plain yoghurt for my entire body. Hahaha.. i just applied it all over my body just before bathe time, wait for 10-15 minutes to let the plain yoghurt dried and absorbed by body skin. And then go to bath ! The result is, my body skin felt smooth and smell good like a yoghurt.

Check List Outfit For The Boys !!

T-shirts are a classic so why not add some personality to it? Art majors go for their favorite illustrations while hip hop lovers can opt for loud graphic tees.

Lace-up boots are an unexpected twist to style with jeans or skinny pants. Not a fan of boots? High-top sneakers will do just fine.

Pop-art backpacks in technicolor shades liven up gray hoodies.

Toss a draped cardigan or structured cotton jacket on top of cookie-cutter striped polos for an interesting play on layering.

 Bored with bootcut indigo jeans? Evolve to straight-fit or skinny cuts with acid washes and deeper shades.

Think beyond nylon and opt for a faux leather backpack that looks clean and slick.

From basic black to chili pepper red, baseball jackets are an old school alternative to leather and denim, and look great with your closet of plaid.

Swap black and blue skinny jeans for camel or khaki colored ones to go with your high-tops. It’s all prep without the stuffiness.

 A funky cap turns a tired hipster look into an urban prepster with a punch of color.

 

Stop playing it safe and break out in geometric pattern tees. Introduce one color in your outfit for high contrast.

Take a break from all that black denim with some plaid in the grayscale to keep it looking uniquely you.

 Cream to white loafers lighten it up with a laidback, summer style.

Bunny Ears !!

I used lace in this tutorial because I sewed it by hand. It’s quite forgiving since it hides the stitches and doesn’t fray. If you have a sewing machine, the sky is the limit: thin denim or cotton will do (gingham or polka dots would be really cute!). I don’t recommend satin polyester or chiffon: satin is hard to manipulate and chiffon makes the wire highly visible. Come fall, experiment with thicker knits and jersey fabrics!

Choose a gauge (thickness) that you find is both soft and easy to bend to manipulate into shapes. I am uncertain about the gauge of the wire I purchased but just make sure to get one sturdy enough to support the knot when sandwiched in between the fabric. Available in most hardware, craft and jewelry supply stores.

 Thread, needle, pins, fabric scissors, measuring tape…
*Any other miscellaneous decorative bits you may want to embellish your scarf with (optional)

Fold the fabric in half and pin to secure. You will be cutting on the fold. My finished piece came out to be 40′ in length and 1.75′ wide (adjust according to your own head)

1. With a 1/2′ seam allowance, measure out the width and length on the piece of fabric along the folded edge. It should be around 4′ in width and 41′ length (includes seam allowance). Pin to mark out the strip.

2. Cut out the piece and unpin. Now your strip should be twice as long. With right sides together (ugly side facing you!), fold the strip lengthwise and pin loosely. Ironing the strip once folded will help control the fabric for more precision for the next step.

 3. Sew the length of the sash closed leaving both ends open. You’ll end up with a tube.

4. Using your fingers, flip the tube inside out so that the right side of the fabric is now showing.

5. Now for the wire: measure the length of your sash and add about 2′ extra to get the length of wire you need to cut.

6. Loop both ends of the wire around your index finger to prevent snagging the fabric. Use pliers if necessary.

7. Put the wire through the fabric tube and sew down the loops lightly to prevent the wire from moving around inside.

 8. Finally, close the open ends by sewing them shut and you’re done!

 A few styling tips: wear it in your hair or as a neck scarf. Tie it around a straw hat to give it a different look or replace a bracelet by knotting on your wrist. Add a vintage touch to a leather purse by tying it around the strap!
